Production

Initially as revealed in the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con, the followup to Super Troopers was to be a prequel taking place in the 1970s and following the fathers of the main characters in the original film.[3] with Jay Chandrasekhar later telling Rotten Tomatoes, “The joke is that we’ll make it Super Troopers ’76, set during the Bicentennial.” “We’ll have a little shaggier hair and mustaches…We might do it, I don’t know. That movie has sort of a special place in a lot of people’s hearts, so all we can do is mess it up.”[4]

However, in a January 2009 interview with MovieWeb, Paul Soter and Jay Chandrasekhar revealed that the movie would be a sequel. Chandrasekhar stated “We pick up the story essentially right were we left off. Maybe about three months later. We are all working undercover for the lumber industry. What has happened is that there are all of these eco-terrorists that are trying to blow up the lumber mills. And we are there working as security.”[5] Soter added to that: “The big picture is that we are on the Canadian border. And in reality, what has happened is that the government has found places where the markers were off, or wrong. And there are these areas of land that were thought to be Canada, but are actually part of the U.S. We are enlisted to patrol this area that was always thought to be Canadian soil. But no, it is actually the United States. We are enlisted because they have to send someone there to help make it part of the U.S. territory now. We get recruited to be the Highway Patrolmen there. And we are surrounded by all of these Canadian people that aren’t happy about this. We essentially have to impose U.S. law on a bunch of Canadians that aren’t at all happy about it.”

In November 2009, Broken Lizard revealed that they had finished three drafts of the sequel’s screenplay and that independent financiers had agreed to finance the movie. They also revealed that the character of Captain O’Hagan was part of the screenplay and that actor Brian Cox was planning on returning to the role.[6]

On March 24, 2015, Broken Lizard announced that they had received studio permission to film the sequel, but had to locate production funding themselves. Due to this requirement, Broken Lizard initiated an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, asking for $2 million in contributions.[7] For the campaign Broken Lizard teamed up with Fandango to offer tickets to the movie as a potential backer reward.[8] Broken Lizard noted that they made this decision after noticing that many other crowdfunded films left backers feeling “ripped off” as they offered no financial compensation for them to see the movie in a theater.[8]

Just 14 hours after the funding window opened, Broken Lizard Industries had raised over 73% of necessary funds ($1,459,446). The $2,000,000 funding goal was reached just 26 hours after the window opened but contributions continued to be added in force. Large ticket perks were offered as incentives to get this funding including tickets to a real beerfest in Chicago, a producer title in the credits ($10,000), a “director” listing ($12,500), a speaking actor role ($10,000), a trip to the ballpark with the five main actors ($15,000), and even the patrol car that will be used in the filming of the movie ($35,000) were all sold out within 12 hours of funding. This project is also, as of March 2016, #38 on the list of highest funded crowdfunding projects and is the #7 largest successfully-completed Indiegogo project; its campaign was completed on April 24.[9] The campaign raised $4.4 million for the film, and Fox Searchlight Pictures is scheduled to release the film.[2]

Principal photography on the film began on October 23, 2015 in the Central Massachusetts area.[10][11][12]

On a Funemployment Radio episode May 26, 2016, Jay Chandrasekhar confirmed that a small test segment of the film has been shot and full production will start in August 2016.[13]

In September 2016, it was announced that Emmanuelle Chriqui, Tyler Labine, Lynda Carter, Rob Lowe, Will Sasso, and Hayes MacArthur joined the cast.[14][15][16][17][18]
